Most of the Cloud Gate detoxers are finishing up their detox program. As the Christmas season approaches, detoxing is the LAST thing that people are thinking about.

I practice Chinese Medicine because of its logical, flexible, relevant and effective methods to improve health and wellbeing.
I've seen that people gain a lot from their treatments, much more than alleviating symptoms. It's exciting for me to draw upon not only the deep wisdom of the ancients but also the latest in cutting-edge mind-body science.
